In honor of the women in New York State who have helped influence change, join us in celebrating the voices and legacies preserved in our history so they will continue to be heard by future generations. Each with their own unique tenacity, these female pioneers have made gigantic strides for women across the state during their roles in governement, arts and culture, healthcare, advocacy, and finance. 

This exhibit pulls together well-known and little-known women on one platform. Here they can stand together and be recognized for all of their achievements. This exhibit also includes references to collections held at other repositories to amplify their contributions.

Explore this living exhibit below and visit us in the future to see how the exhibit grows as we uncover more women pioneers when we mine the archvies.
